The 100 Most Popular Baby Names of 2019

If you’re looking for a baby name that sounds cool or unique but is still well-recognized, Nameberry is a good starting point. The website just identified Posie and Milo as the top baby names for 2019, according to a new ranking spotted by HuffPost.

To be clear, names like Isla, Freya, and Aarav—all of which made the top 100 list—are not among the most common names being selected by parents. Nameberry is more interested in keeping track of the names that are trending at any given moment, which depends on the number of page views each name gets.

“While this list is not a measure of which names babies actually received in that month, it’s far more current than official baby name popularity lists and also can work as a tool for predicting which names may be destined to become more popular in the future,” Nameberry writes on its website.

Olivia and Atticus were the top names of 2018, but they both dropped to third place on the girls' and boys' lists, respectively, for 2019. For the girls, Posie and other classic, nature-inspired names like Rose, Iris, Ivy, and Violet seem to be making a comeback this year. As for the boys, Eastern names like Aarav (of Indian/Sanskrit origin), Aryan (of Indo-Iranian origin), and Bodhi (also Sanskrit) cracked the top 20.

Other trends to expect this year include ancient, biblical, and literary names (Ophelia, anyone?). Check out the top 100 names for girls and boys below, and visit Nameberry's website for the complete list of 1000 names.
